Last week we exacerbated the problem, by letting him ride the tractor with his Granda over in N. Ireland.

He’s moved off Boyton lately, after a ton of it early in the year. Recently it’s been a lot of “The Little Excavator” and “Tractor Ted.” I do not understand the tiny toddler fascination with big machines…

So I sat down to work on my 2027 reading list, just to jot down a few things I wanted to make sure I got to; and I somehow have mapped out what I’m going to read for the entire year. So far a lot of medieval lit, early 20th century SFF, and books I used Sparknotes for in Highschool.

When I read the “15 years in marketing” bit in the acknowledgment, everything suddenly made a lot of sense.

I’ve been reading “Startup Hell” by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social , and the satire of corporate nonsense is razor sharp. I regularly would laugh, then sigh and look around my office, depressed.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

What I love about the people answering “negative” is they are basically saying “the last thousand years? I don’t care for them”.

It’s just so frustrating, because parts of the game are absolutely amazing. And even the parts that don’t work, I see what they were going for. But the companion(s) are bad enough that I almost didn’t want to finish the game. They didn’t even give a “talk less” toggle. This must have come up in QA

I know that so many others have already said it, but I’m still baffled that in #Metroid Prime 4, a series about isolation and exploration, they decided it would be good to give a companion who tells you where to go and Will. Not. Shut. Up. Absolutely baffling choice #Prime4

Small house cons like this are amazing. I’d agree that 18-25 is the perfect count for attendees. We typically rent a big holiday house out in the highlands or lowlands for this, and split meal duties.

Did you know? The large plant creature you fight in Metroid: Fusion is named "Johnathan", but it's never mentioned by this name in-game as the developers didn't wanna bother labeling it.

I’ve seen this happen with other cons. They go to the con and demo the game, and after people play it, you point them to the sign with the QR code. GenCon serves as a way to get your game in front of thousands of people who may not otherwise see it.

I’m torn. On the one hand, I don’t care about football/soccer, and I desperately want to get some sleep. On the other, this may be the only time in my adult life Scotland is in the World Cup, so it’s worthwhile to find a pub and watch an 11pm match.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.
A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.
